Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)
Smart Hood variable air volume technology that automatically adjusts exhaust fan speed based on cooking activity, reducing energy costs by up to 50%.
INTELLIGENT KITCHEN VENTILATION
Smart Hood DCV systems continuously monitor cooking activity using temperature and opacity sensors, automatically adjusting exhaust fan speed to match real-time demand.
By reducing fan speed during idle and low-cooking periods, Smart Hood systems can cut kitchen ventilation energy costs by 30-50% while maintaining code-compliant capture and containment.
